gaelic harp icin' n bakin'

went over to Selina's house to bake some cookies with icing
we got inspired by this one baking youtuber who talks in a ridiculously soft voice with like, gaelic Celtic harps and shit playing in the background
and we were like, "we can do that !"
we were wrong
we could not do that

the sugar cookies part went fine and dandy
I think we ate most of them and left just a few for icing

our first attempt at icing did not...go the greatest
okay actually it went terribly
the pipes we had bought were wayy too large and made it really difficult to get it right

I've never baked or iced anything before, let alone using whatever technique this was that we were using (I totally forgot what it's called but Selina knows)
so I just handed over all control to Selina

anyway she asked me to improvise new piping bags and I made some provisionary ones out of baking paper and tape and desperation and hope
and we actually managed to get some decent looking cookies!
well, in my opinion
I don't think they were as perfect as Selina was hoping for

not by any means terrible
I mean those edges are jank but
compared to this next one

I mean this was one of my first attempts
and this is by all means terrible
it's just
so bad

ready to go in the fridge

Selina's candle obsession

this one turned out the best I reckon

so today was an interesting lesson in how not to cook things
#1 try not to accidentally smear icing all over absolutely everything
#2 try not to spill flour absolutely everywhere
